Rappers Who Went To High School Together [Photos] - Page 21

Everybody is known to make a lifelong friend or two along the way and it generally happens in high school.

Same goes for a snot-nosed, pubescent fresh-faced rapper. As they struggle to pay attention in geometry and Shakespearean literature classes, their aspirations to becoming a celebrated MC increases.

Big Sean relayed to us that kids should stay in school before persuing their dreams of becoming a rapper but even if they take heed to such advice, the gears already begin to grind.

Don’t believe us? We’ve compiled several rappers who went to high school together. Sometimes it’s a peer pressure thing.
